What are IBM Rational Table of Contents (TOC) documents?

Table of Contents (TOC) periodicals have been developed to supplement the Knowledge Base searching facility by providing an alternate method of finding information related to a specific component of a product.

TOC periodicals provide a consolidated and organized list of technotes for a specific subject area of an IBM Software product.

The individual TOCs provide a categorical breakdown presented in five ways:

Note: Not all categories will contain technotes.

I. Defects: These technotes document defects discovered during use of the product along with their accompanying solution or work around including the APAR id for traceability.

II. Errors: These technotes document errors discovered during use of the product along with their accompanying solutions.

III. How To: These technotes provide instructions on "how to" perform specific tasks with the product.

IV. Information: These technotes provide information about the product that serves to supplement the current documentation set.

V. Request for Enhancements: These technotes document customer requests to the product along with their accompanying RATLC id for traceability.

The contents of these periodicals change frequently as new documents are added. The Modified Date section in the right hand side of these periodicals will indicate when it was last updated.

How do I find IBM Rational Table of Contents (TOC) documents?

The best way is from a product support page. If your product has a Table of Contents (TOC) document - not all Rational software products have TOCs - then it's link would be listed under the "Solve a problem" area of that product's support page.

For example, Rational ClearCase's TOC may be found on it's product support page - http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/clearcase/support/index.html. It is the fourth link under "Solve a problem":
